Hearing rescheduled for 2 charged in boy's slaying

DETROIT (AP) — A preliminary hearing has been rescheduled for a man and a teenager charged in the death of an 8-year-old boy who was shot while sleeping inside his Detroit home.

The Wayne County prosecutor's office says the new court date to determine if 28-year-old Calvin Mosby and 17-year-old Devaunte Starks go to trial is Sept. 4.

They're charged with first-degree murder in the July 30 slaying of Jakari Pearson. The bullet penetrated a wall at the Brewster Homes public housing project. Jakari was to enter the fourth grade this year.

Prosecutors have described it as a retaliatory shooting. Prosecutor Kym Worthy says Mosby formerly dated Jakari's mother and went to the housing project to threaten her the previous day.
